I used to get sucked in by cop videos on TikTok. I think it's the curiosity. I hated it. I'd get shown so many. I didn't enjoy watching them. I thought a lot about what's happening and I really think it's just the initial hook of "what's happening here???" because there's a cop. I had to actively scroll away as fast as possible every time I saw them to get that shit away. I finally did, but it was rough. It's easy to fall into traps like that with social media algorithms. They aren't meant to maximize your enjoyment, they're meant to maximize your retention, engagement, and spending.
